Whiskey Wednesday – Independent Bourbons

by Jonathan Gaby on July 26, 2017

This Wednesday for our $20 flight we will offer bourbons from Independent Labels. Though these bourbons are not being distilled at their facilities, every barrel that they use to bottle are hand-picked! Some of these companies are in the process of building their own distilleries- Angel’s Envy in Louisville and Boone County in Northern Kentucky.

The bottlers of these bourbons have expert palates and put only the best bourbon on the shelves for consumers to buy. Come in to Capital Cellars from 5-8 this Wednesday, July 26th, and try some of the best up and coming independent labels!

Boone County Distillery 10 yr Bourbon

“Boone County Distilling Co is now making authentic bourbon whiskey in the northern hills of Kentucky. Their brand is a living tribute to those that came before, men like Snyder and others, including Col. William Appleton, J.C. Jenkins and James Gaff, Julius Freiberg and Levi Workum. Their Stories infuse the Boone County brand with truth and determination. They are all part of the story” – Boone County Distilling Co

Jefferson’s Very Old Very Small Batch Bourbon

“Jefferson’s Bourbon is made in very small batches. Actually, ridiculously small batches. We take up to four different Kentucky straight bourbon whiskies of different ages and marry them together. Doing this, we get a lot of complexity and balance while maintaining the consistency needed in a bourbon (one of the blends comprising of at least 55% of the total). We wanted to make it big enough for the connoisseur, yet approachable for people just getting into the premium bourbon field.” – Jefferson’s Bourbon

Bird Dog 10yr Bourbon“Bird Dog 10 Year Old Bourbon is crafted from the most sought-after, hand selected barrels. In the specific barrel selections of this very small batch, considerations of age, depth of character and flavor notes are paramount.” – Bird Dog Whiskey

Angel’s Envy Port Finished Bourbon

“Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. We guide each batch’s conditioning, blending our handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. It’s typically aged for up to 6 years. While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or “the Angel’s Share,” what’s left behind after we’re done is truly worthy of envy. Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste.” – Angels Envy

If Wine is more your thing, we will waive the restaurant fee from 5-8pm as well as offer buy one get one half off glasses of wine.
